Course Description
This lecture/lab course teaches computer users to make productive use of the
UNIX®-like Linux operating system (OS).
The most important and empowering concepts, such as
pattern matching,
command editing,
shell scripting,
and
pipelines
are emphasized, alongside coverage of basic OS utilities and services.
Because Linux can be somewhat confusing for new users,
many typical mistakes are illustrated,
and students are shown how to avoid them ("forewarned is forearmed").
Fully 40% of class time is spent in supervised laboratory activities,
with students using a Bash (POSIX) shell interface to Linux.
Although this is intended as a first course in Linux,
it does cover elementary shell programming, and is
therefore especially well suited for those with a logical mindset who
wish to become "power users",
Programmers, or System-, Database-, Network-, or Web-Administrators.
Most of the course material is applicable to all Linux systems (SuSE, RedHat,
etc.) as well as all UNIX systems (Solaris, HP/UX, etc.).
We also offer a
UNIX version
of this course and a combined
UNIX/Linux
version,
which gives students experience with both operating systems.
Prerequisites
A conceptual understanding of elementary computer terms, such as memory, disk storage, and
time-sharing is required. Typing skills are beneficial, as is familiarity with other operating systems, such
as DOS.
